Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 cups canned chickpeas -- rinsed, drained, and dry
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
8 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
4 shallots -- chopped
12 cloves garlic
5 basil leaves
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
2 tablespoons dry oregano -- (preferably from Greece)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil -- (to 1/2 cup) plus 2 tablespoons for baguette
Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
To serve: -- Day-old rustic baguette sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces at a 45-degree angle

Make sure the chickpeas are dry before adding to a food processor with the
vinegar, tomatoes, shallots, garlic, basil, thyme, and oregano. Purée
while slowly adding 1/4–1/2 cup of oil and scraping the sides of the bowl
as needed, until a smooth paste forms. Season with salt and pepper. (This
mixture will keep for up to two weeks, covered in the refrigerator.)

Brush the baguette slices with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Grill over hot coals until slightly charred. Spread the fava purée onto
the bread.
